Yoshi's Fruit Cart

The eighth Gate of Yoshi's Fruit Cart

Yoshi's Fruit Cart is an attraction appearing in the Wii U title Nintendo Land. It requires the player to draw a path on the GamePad from Yoshi Cart to the Goal Gate, such that it eats every fruit along the way. This minigame is one of two from the 12 games in Nintendo Land to utilize the stylus to draw paths on the Wii U GamePad's touchscreen.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Yoshi's Fruit Cart is divided across both screens. The TV screen shows fruits and other items that can be collected, as well as obstacles that must be avoided, while the GamePad's touch screen shows the drawn path the Yoshi Cart will follow. Both screens show the start of the Gate and the final Goal Gate, as well as occasional patterns on the ground to assist players in drawing the path. The Yoshi Cart can only begin moving once a path has been drawn connecting the start and the Goal Gate. The Yoshi Cart uses up fuel as it moves, indicated by the bar on the TV screen. Fuel can be regained by eating fruit. Extra fuel given by fruit when the meter fills up is converted into eggs which award the player with bonus points at the end of the Gate. The player is awarded an extra life every 1000 points.

Additional players can, once per Gate, point at a fruit on the stage and collect it for the Yoshi Cart.

At first, there are twenty Gates in total to be completed. After beating all Gates, the player is recognized as a Star Player at the attraction, and thirty more Gates are unlocked on subsequent playthroughs, for a total of fifty Gates. Although their order is fixed, the layout of each Gate can vary per playthrough. The Gate can appear mirrored vertically or horizontally, or sometimes the order and position of fruit with Number Flags is different. If the Yoshi Cart loses a life at any point of the game, the player must restart from the beginning of the Gate and retrace its path. Any fruit or present collected previously remains collected, however.

After all fifty Gates are cleared, the player is then able to play through them again, this time in a night setting. During night, the ground is a dark blue color and lacks any patterns that could have been used for reference, making the Gates harder to pathfind through.
